If you want “real” terminals to hook up to it (yea, I know IBM 3290’s are cool) the easiest terminals to find are the IBM 3178/3179. Usually you’ll be able to get the display and then have to hunt a keyboard (but it’s the IBM standard keyboard with the 5-pin DIN connector…any of those should work). Folks have (unfortunately) figured out that they can get more for the keyboard than the terminal. TTFN - Guy
